tappin' phones

The National Security Agency is spying on us all.
Not surprised, eh?

Just a week before USA Today broke the story that the NSA is psying big time, U.S. intelligence chief & South American death squad supporter, John D. Negroponte, strongly denied any of such spying was going on.

still not surprised?

In the 1970's, appointed Pres. Gerald R. Ford extended executive privilege, which shielded those involved from testifying publicly, to the telecommunications companies on the recommendation of then chief-of-staff Dick Cheney and then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.

So, don't expect the same bunch to force telecommunications companies to give us any info.

BellSouth & Verizon have denied accusations of helping the government spy..
Or have they?

Their carefully worded denials actually deny nothing.

Neither the government nor their business friends will ever offer up evidence of legal or extra-legal spying.
Remember COINTELPRO?
